Antonio Conte set to depart Napoli after season

Antonio Conte will leave Napoli at the end of the current campaign. His departure follows a successful spell that began with a Serie A title.

Conte, 56, guided Napoli to the Scudetto in his first season in charge. The triumph marked the club’s first league crown in decades.

This season Napoli sit second in the Serie A table. The side remains in contention for the title as the campaign approaches its conclusion.

The decision was communicated to club president Aurelio De Laurentiis. The discussion took place roughly a month ago.

Conte’s tenure at Napoli began last season. After just one year, he is preparing to step away from the role.

Napoli will look to finish the season without their Italian coach. The club will need to appoint a successor for the upcoming campaign.
